CODE EXAMPLE FOR JAVASCRIPT

split string on multiple characters javascript

You can pass a regex into JavaScript's split() method. For example:

"1,2 3".split(/,| /) 
["1", "2", "3"]
Or, if you want to allow multiple separators together to act as one only:

"1, 2, , 3".split(/(?:,| )+/) 
["1", "2", "3"]
